Effective Counselling with Young People (Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice)

0.0

This book examines key theoretical counseling perspectives and applies these specifically to work with young people. It establishes how to build counseling relationships in order to support young people and enable them to achieve positive outcomes and manage their lives effectively. It also identifies the key counseling skills needed to engage in purposeful, helping conversations. There are sections on understanding adolescent development, exploring person-centered principles, and using motivational interviewing - all of which help to blend academic theory with the realities of practice.
